In the Chinese finals of the 5th "Believe in yourself and create the future together" Otis Campus Innovation Competition held recently, the "AI Explorer" team of the student team of Tianjin Farragut School won the national championship with the "artificial intelligence innovation and improvement" competition plan. The students amazed the judges with their interdisciplinary integration of innovative design and practical ability, demonstrating their potential and profound accumulation in the field of scientific and technological innovation. I would like to announce the good news to all the students and extend my warm congratulations to the students!

"Believe in yourself, create the future together" (Made to Move CommunitiesTM) Otis Campus Innovation Competition is organized by Otis, a world-renowned elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company, focusing on STEM education and empowering sustainable mobility, with the aim of tapping the innovative potential of young students. The fifth competition revolves around the theme of AI, hoping to inspire students to bring innovative changes to people's travel experience through AI technology. In the past four competitions, Otis has joined hands with hundreds of students around the world to jointly contribute to global hot issues.
The competition plan designed by our students, starting from the actual needs of daily life, carefully created a practical AI smart elevator that can truly bring convenience to the public. The plan integrates functions such as contactless ladder calls, smart seats, intelligent navigation and cloud safety, to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers' travel in an all-round way. At the same time, through the use of advanced language models, the multi-ladder collaboration algorithm is deeply optimized, which not only improves operation efficiency, but also achieves energy-saving goals. This AI smart elevator is not only an innovative technological achievement, but also a bold exploration of future intelligent travel, which is expected to bring more convenient, efficient and safe travel experience to the majority of users.
Multi-ladder collaborative algorithm is a core element for us to stand out in the competition. We use AI technology to accurately classify the operating status of elevators and carry out innovative algorithmic practices for each subcategory. Taking peak hours as an example, after investigation, it was found that the frequent "station stops" of elevators and frequent switching between docking and operating states not only consume a lot of time, but also cause unnecessary energy loss. Based on this, we have developed a function that can guide passengers to the same or similar floors to the same elevator.
Overview of the competition plan
During the normal operation period, we make full use of AI's learning ability to develop a plan that can dynamically group floors according to capacity requirements, which significantly improves the balance of capacity allocation in the multi-ladder collaborative mode. It is particularly crucial that for the above functions, we provide practical actual codes to ensure that the plan has a high degree of operability and landing.

In recent years, our school has continued to strengthen the ecological education system of scientific and technological innovation, constantly creating a platform and opportunity for students to get in touch with cutting-edge technology. The science and technology environment and scientific research awareness cannot be formed overnight, and a lot of preliminary work and subtle accumulation are required to achieve qualitative change. The scientific research layout made by the school, together with the students' own efforts and excellent knowledge accumulation, laid a solid foundation for this championship.
(Brain-Computer Interface Laboratory)
1. The establishment of the artificial intelligence and complex systems laboratory allows students to have the opportunity to contact cutting-edge scientific and technological knowledge, participate in practical scientific research projects, cultivate innovation ability and practical ability, and provide a broad platform and development space for future learning and development in artificial intelligence and other fields.
2. Tianjin Faragut School and Sikai Academics jointly established the laboratory. It is the only molecular laboratory in the high school stage in Tianjin. It provides students with university-level experimental facilities and practical opportunities, stimulates students' interest in life sciences, cultivates students' laboratory skills and scientific research thinking, and helps students' future development in life science-related fields.
■ Conclusion:
From being admitted to Oxford University to winning the fifth "Believe in yourself, create the future together" "Otis Campus Innovation Competition", Farragut students are polishing the school's brand with diverse and outstanding performance. This is not only a reflection of the students' personal ability and innovation ability, but also a perfect interpretation of Tianjin Farragut School's educational philosophy of "empowering the future through practice". We are taking the attitude of "Tianjin International Education Leader" with its inclusive educational ecology and forward-looking layout, and continue to inject new momentum into the cultivation of science and technology innovation talents.
